Are we joking about Brayshaw? He needs time in the seconds to get back in form.

No you are not watching or seeing his team efforts They are in front of you on the screen or at matches Watch him do the 1% ers as well snd support for the backs and forwards.

Fritsch - prefer his snapping

McDonald - great despite errors

Weideman - 2 timely goals

Gawn - Mr. Butter fingers

Pickett - slight form slump

Harmes - looked dynamic again

Petracca - quiet 2nd half

Jordon - important goal early

Spargo - season best game

May - a complete game

Salem - surprise kicking errors

Jackson - Not a forward

Lever - setting intercept records

Brayshaw - better than previous

Oliver - enters Brownlow favouritism  

Hibberd -composed yet bullish

Langdon - surprisingly quiet game

Melksham -some untimely errors

Rivers - what a jet

Hunt - needs to lift

Neal-Bullen - salvaged his career.

Petty - confidence boosting game.

 

Very good DrD but leave Jacko alone he is rucking  about 50% and performing and we are getting Gawny both forward  and back who influences the game as long as he doesn't drop the marks!

His rucking is superior to Gawn at the moment

Re-watch the game... Brayshaw was sensational as the defensive wing.  Don't recall him losing a single one on one, and his 1% efforts were fantastic.  He did everything you could ask him to do without the football.

Daisy Pearce was on the money all game, that he was doing a brilliant, thankless job on the wing.

Fantatsic post on Brayshaw summed up his night.

Can debate on him cease, its just not fair or accurate as to his value defensively for the team. Plus has a great football brain and decision making capability(can't have too many of those). Sure he fluffs it sometime but let's move on. Langdon Oliver Brayshaw - best centreline in the AFL.

92% efficiency last night…

Not a comment at you Demon17, but I am sure some posters just look at the disposals count to work out best players…

Fascinating post game interview showed Lever had practically lost his voice, such was his shouting and directing during the game. Richo commented on hearing it all night leading the defence or just helping tie it all together with his defensive team mates.

All good. I was referring to some earlier games but gee he was great last night.  He and Spargo might just be the 2 smartest footballers in the team.

For sure the IQ is there, but what about most natural? I can't make up my mind, torn between Oliver and Kozzie, and would entertain arguments on another half dozen.

don't get me wrong, i love jackson in the ruck. But not in the forward line and I don't like Gawn in the fwd line either. If you can't kick straight you shouldn't be in the forward line. That's my personal belief. It's too much of a momentum swinger.

Good. only criticism for me would be too nice on Gawn and Pickett. Gawn dropped a lot of marks and has been doing some dumb things like with 50 seconds to go in the 3rd qtr he has the ball at half forward and he wants to slow it down. Wrong decision .Ended up getting called to play on and turning it over and potentially giving the dogs momentum at the break. 

Pickett was the pickett of last year. Fumbled and missed 1 or 2 easy goals. Time to slow down again and do the basics well first.

I understand the commentary around Brayshaw. I think he has been extremely poor the last few weeks and is lucky to hold his spot. Tonight he was much better but usually he is a liability on the wing due to his lack of leg speed. And his kicking skills have been way off. But credit where credit is due, he was efficient tonight. 

Ummmm ?‍♂️

Its a fair comment. Luke is great in the ruck because he is suberb at ground level.

But then we are lacking a key forward a lot of the time. Max doesnt always go frwd and when he does he often misses goals.

Luke up forward isnt really impacting the scorboard either.

Not sure of a solution but since we are having our best season for  a long, long time Im not too concerned .

On Gawn , when I watched again I noticed the marks more, so you have a fair point, but the 1st quarter clearances with which we had a brilliant quarter, seemed in no small part to Max who was tapping much better than the last few weeks, also while he fluffed a few kicks I was well impressed with him picking the ball up and taking it on, seemed more on, hence my comments.

Pickets did more 1%ers than I could count and at one stage split the contest with four dogs. That and two bounces while running down the wing with a tackler in hot pursuit had me frothing at the mouth. So on your 2nd point I demur, he did basics well, just missed a couple of moments for goal, but his pressure was a part of the win.

If every player lived up to the standard set by D'land posters, the team would literally get 4,000 possessions in a game.

lol. please. you can't say that Brayshaw is quick. I don't trust these stats at all. Brayshaw is a plodder and my eyes tell me that. If he has pace, then he certainly doesn't use it defensively. As Connor McGregor would say, he's stuck in the mud

People who don’t appreciate Gus’ role last night don’t appreciate football. 

I've been 'harsh' on him for a long time but he was fantastic last night. He's gotten better almost week by week in the wing role and showed a different type of talent against the Doggies.

His game last night, after first disposal, was as good as any that Tomlinson has played. Fits in well with the boys down back.

May not be quite as solid on the bigger beasts as Tommo was but has more strings to his bow in skills.

Either way a great duo to pick from.

Maxy's been getting criticism on here when he lead us like a legend; and you use this line on my comment about Gus, who was good at best! Misdirected.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
